Socialite Badru dies after his pastor allegedly sprayed perfume on him while holding a lit candle

Lagos socialite, Kayode Badru, is dead. It is reported that the tragic incident happened on Wednesday, May 5, 2021.

According to CelestialNewsOnline, the dubai-based socialite flew into the country to celebrate with 40 students he gave scholarships, who were graduating.

He was said to have visited the Celestial Church of Christ for prayers and asked to kneel down while surrounded by seven elders and several lit candles. “He was holding a candle then the prophet of the church, Felix Alebiosu, sprayed perfume on his body from his head to toe. Within a few minutes, his body caught fire. He suffered severe burns and was rushed to a hospital in Gbagada, Lagos. He died hours later,” the report read in part.

CelestialNewsOnline reports that Prophet Felix Alebiosu ran away immediately after the incident but was later arrested alongside two out of the seven elders.

They are currently in Panti police station, Lagos.

Meanwhile, the authority of the celestial church of Christ International Headquarters issued the statement :

“Due to the incessant abuse of spiritual perfumes within the church, His eminence has found it imperative to stare for record purposes abs correction that henceforth, Spiritual perfumes intended to be sprayed, sprinkled, or poured with a lighted candle should be diluted with water

The spraying or pouring of undiluted spiritual perfumes in its volatile state with a lighted candle is an imported culture not originally part of the tenets of the celestial church of Christ.

We are all advised to adhere to this directive, any parish or member that goes against the directive will be solely responsible for the resultant effect
